The current system is ridiculously skewed towards benefit dependency and having to claim for so many different things. As the whole system is so bureaucratic it makes for too many ways to abuse the system and too many ways for people to fall between the cracks and lose out.

I get most annoyed with those talking about "child poverty" who seem to think throwing money at the poor will actually do anything about this. There must be more effective and better ways of improving the lot of children directly, which ensures the help needed actually reaches the ones who need it. All that seems to have happened with it so far is creating families who are better off claiming than working.
